Normally this would be the cause for a number of issues, not the least of which is continuity, however Full Metal Alchemist never really suffered from those except where the numerous, and unnecessary, comedy moments were included. One of the issues I had with the manga, and in turn Brotherhood, was the fact that the tale is far more 'shounen' than the original adaptation, and this difference in not only plot and story content, but overall perspective as well, is noticeable in a number of areas.Īs far as pacing, plot, and depth of story goes, Full Metal Alchemist does lose out somewhat to Brotherhood, however this is partly due to the fact that Arakawa Hiromu had far more time to produce a story that worked, whereas the writers for the original adaptation only had part of Arakawa's work to play with, and had to make up the rest. Now unlike many, the fact that the original adaptation didn't follow the manga for much of its run was something that I wasn't overly concerned about, and there's a very good reason for this too.

fans are currently raving about the new series of Full Metal Alchemist, especially as it is an almost direct adaptation of the manga, however in the light of all this new found glory, the original adaptation has become the topic of much debate and controversy, especially by those who once praised the show for being something. Or is it simply a case of people not seeing what they don't want to see, especially if there something new and shiny to watch? Isn't it strange then, that such a well known human trait can so easily be mistaken for something else entirely? What one does with their obsession though, well, therein lies an altogether different proposition, especially as people often define their 'obsessions' in terms of what they love and hate, or even what brings them hope and fear. Obsession is a very strange thing indeed, and may be one of the few human traits that so clearly falls between heaven and hell.
